“A large batch of traditional Italian Wedding soup. This soup offers plenty of meat, carbohydrates and veggies. Perfect with Italian bread. For the pasta, I use acini di pepe, but you could use any small shape you desire, like shells or orzo.”

I really liked this soup and will definitely make it again. My husband enjoyed it. I even fed it to our 11 month old baby (after fork smashing!) and he loved it. I was a little puzzled by the "2 1/2 ounces" of chicken. That is such a small amount, it hardly seemed worth it.

This was a hit at our annual Christmas Eve soup and chili night. Everyone loved it! Thanks for the great recipe. I did use more broth and also left out chicken. I am making again today and will see what it is like with the chicken. I highly recommend! This was fast and tasty.

I was looking for a wedding soup recipe and this was exactly what I needed. It was easy and fast to prepare and was really delicious. The meatballs were kinda a pain to make, and I think after awhile I made them too big, but the soup was definitely great. It tasted just like the kind you get in a restaruant, thanks chuck

This was a hit, what a great way to get a 5 year old to eat spinach, she loved it. And my husband said, "great way to get a 34 year old to eat his spinach too". Like some of the other folks, I adjusted a bit, used 1 large onion instead of 2, and that was PLENTY, used 1/2 sausage, and 1/2 ground beef for my meatballs, plus ITALIAN bread crumbs. I also baked my meatballs in the oven until browned before adding to soup. I did use the acini di pepe, which I boiled seperately, then added to stockpot. Also, I used 12 cups of chicken stock, you really need it once you add all of those lovely veggies and stuff. Once again, it was delicious, and thank the original maker for giving me a great base to play around with a bit, we will DEFINATELY be making this again. ALSO, this is a very FILLING soup, a small salad and some crusty bread, and you have a great meal.

This was the first time I made Wedding Soup. I had tasted this soup only once in a coffee shop and had been dreaming of it since. I did make a few chages though. Like others I thought it needed more liquid so i added about 4 cups of water to the 48 ounces of broth. (Next time I'll just get an extra can) I only used one lg onion.
I used italian bread crumbs in the meatballs. I also cooked the orzo separately so it wouldn't cause the beautiful clear broth to become cloudy. All in all I was very proud of this soup and my 12 year old ate spinach and loved it. :) May substitute KALE next time.

Excellent. I made a few changes like addding more chicken broth and using 1/2 lb of meatloaf mix for the little meatballs. I also mixed them like regular meatballs using 1 egg white instead of the whole egg, parsley, 1 clove of garlic and salt and pepper.

Great recipe - very easy! Even easier was making it in the crockpot... I followed the recipe pretty much completely to the letter except:
-Added more stock - probably about another can (14.5oz cans) and a half
-Crockpot on High for 5 hours
-Added pasta 30 minutes before the end (same as recipe)
-Added cooked chicken (leftovers) 30 minutes before the end
Came out great - HUGE batch of soup - definitely freezing the leftovers.
